I’m confused as to whether it’s decision making or execution with some of these kicks. We’re not going anywhere this year

its both

    Looks like a bottom 8 clash right now. I'm seriously worried about this season. I thought we'd fixed a lot of what undid us in 22 and 23 from rounds 1-4 but the last 2 weeks have been a real step backward.

    My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

    Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

    Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

    Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

    Hooray! 
     

     

    All going to plan, folks.

    Structure excellent, intercept game on but no execution whatsoever.

    if we are struggling to score against a VFL team, what the [censored] will happen against Geelong's defence. FFS

    We barely scored 30+ for 3 quarters against Brisbane so...

    Why would Lever do that?

    He was under no pressure at all and just kicks it straight in the middle as if passing to a tigers player.

    What has happened to our skills?

    The disturbing thing is that the really poor kicking has been under practically no pressure at all. None!

    How are we going to go in the next 3 weeks once the blow torch is applied.

    It's been years since I've seen such poor skills by this team. 

    After last week against the Lions. I'm perplexed.

    Have we considered simply not kicking it to Richmond players while under no pressure?

    Might be worth looking into.

    This is awesome. Getting beaten by the behemoths that were beaten by the eagles. Currently 16th!

    How have we regressed? This is not a fatigue thing. We’ve had plennnttty of rest. Poor skills, no vision. 3 goals in a half. 

    Two bottom 8 teams going at it right now.

    Pathetic 

    Melbourne beating Melbourne tonight. Absolute horrid turnovers resulting in direct Richmond goals.

    That is the most lifeless, leaderless, selfish half of footy I can recall by us. There is a lack of run, effort, dare. Some of the worst kicking execution and decision making I can recall. Where is this alleged "brand that our supporters can be proud of". Pull your finger out Dees.

    Max had the opportunity to hit up Fritsch on the lead...so he blazes at goal and stuffs the kick... disgusting from our captain, should handball more

    Have any of our players kicked a footy in the past 13 days? This is just embarrassing. 

    The most frustrating half of football I've watched in 5 years. Turnover central

    And there will be no crutch of 3 game in 13 days fatigue for this one. Sorry guys 

    Folks we are a mid ladder team.

    Temper your expectations, we have disposal that is laughable along with low IQ decision making. The pressure turns up, we turn to water.

    This is a depleted Richmond side we are playing.

    yep, not looking good. we are seriously unable to score, same ole for how many seasons now?

    We've given them a huge sniff.

    No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

    This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
